A keyword list with a single pair.
The key should be one of the atoms for a supported odds format from Exoddic.
The value should be a supported way for expressing the odds for that key.
Examples:
- Probability: `[prob: 0.50]`
- Moneyline: `[us: "+120"]`
- Decimal: `[eu: 2.25]`
- Traditional: `[uk: "4/1"]`
"""
@type wager_price :: [atom: number|String.t]
@typedoc """
A tuple which represents a supposed advantage wagering situation.
The first element is an edge description
The second element is the estimate of the fair (or actual) odds of winning.
The third element is the odds offered by the counter-party to the wager.
"""
@type edge :: {String.t, wager_price, wager_price}
@typedoc """
A number tagged with a description to make collating results easier.

A keyword list which configures optional parameters for staking calculators
- `bankroll` is the total amount available for wagering, defaults to `100`.
